3. So...it's kinda like
God's multipurpose skin healing goo.

Thanks for the link - I especially like the part that unprocessed shea butter has a lot more happy properties than the processed stuff.

4. Which explains why
it takes me an hour to dry off after I use it. :D

Wonder if it explains why my mom has like 3 wrinkles even though she just turned 70...?

5. It shouldn't take that long to dry.
You might be using too much. Shea Butter is greasy but usually absorbs quickly into the skin.

It could definitely explain why your mom has few wrinkles.
